Work with work area service properties files

Use properties files to change work area service configuration objects and custom properties.

Determine the changes to make to your work area service configuration objects or custom properties.

Start the wsadmin scripting tool. To start wsadmin using the Jython language, run the wsadmin -lang jython command from the bin directory of the server profile.

Use a properties file to modify or delete a work area service object. We can also create, modify, or delete work area service custom properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to change a properties file for a work area service, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.

Action	Procedure
create	Not applicable
modify	Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
delete	Run the deleteConfigProperties command. Deleting a property sets the default value, if there is a default value for the property
create Property	Not applicable
delete Property	Not applicable

Action	Procedure
create	Not applicable
modify	Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command to modify the value of an existing custom property.
delete	Not applicable
create Property	Set properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command to create a custom property.
delete Property	Properties to delete in the properties file and then run the deleteConfigProperties command to delete an existing custom property. The properties file must contain only the properties to be deleted.

Optionally, we can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

Tasks

• Edit a work area service properties file.

  1. Set WorkAreaService object properties as needed.

     Open an editor on a WorkAreaService properties file. Modify the Environment Variables section to match the system and set any property value that needs to be changed. An example WorkAreaService properties file follows:

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=WorkAreaService
     ImplementingResourceType=PMEServerExtension
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:PMEServerExtension=:WorkAreaService=
     AttributeInfo=workAreaService
     #
     
     #
     #Properties
     #
     maxReceiveSize=10000 #integer,required,default(32768)
     enable=false #boolean,default(false)
     context=null
     maxSendSize=10000 #integer,required,default(32768)
     enableWebServicePropagation=false #boolean,default(false)
     
     #
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=myCell04
     serverName=server1
     nodeName=myNode05
     

  2. Set WorkAreaService custom properties as needed.

     To specify a custom property, edit the AttributeInfo value and properties values; for example:

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=WorkAreaService
     ImplementingResourceType=PMEServerExtension
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:PMEServerExtension=:WorkAreaService=
     AttributeInfo=properties(name,value)
     #
     
     #
     #Properties
     #
     existingProp=value
     newProp=newValue
     
     #
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=myCell04
     serverName=server1
     nodeName=myNode05
     

  3. Run the applyConfigProperties command to change a work area service configuration.

     Running the applyConfigProperties command applies the properties file to the configuration. In this Jython example, the optional -reportFileName parameter produces a report named report.txt:

     AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt'])
     

• If we no longer need the work area service or an existing custom property, we can delete the entire work area service object or the custom property.

  • To delete the entire object, run the deleteConfigProperties command; for example:

    AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]') 
    

  • To delete a custom property, specify only the property to be deleted in the properties file and then run the deleteConfigProperties command.

Use the properties file to manage the work area service object and its properties.

What to do next

Save the changes to the configuration.
